Not needed for the home user.

will the lattency issue be a permanet issue if it does appear, or will the
issue resolve itself after refreshing?
 
Windows Update automatically downloaded these last security updates on my
Windows 2000 Profession home system and initiated an system restart. When I
logged in with my username I discovered that all my settings and files
associated with my username were missing.

On closer inspection in the directory c:\documents and settings I noticed
that a new directory had been created called "\username.computername" to
which my user account was now connected.

All my old information is sitting in the folder "c:\documents and
settings\username"

Question: Why would it have done this and more importantly, when I log in,
how can I get my user to connect back to the original folder?

Any help gratefully accepted.

Thanks, Neil
 
Latest updates broke my Tablet PC digitalizer drivers :( After installing
"MS08-002 - Vulnerability in LSASS Could Allow Local Elevation of Privilege
(943485)" the Wacom digitalizer stopped working. It uses the standard Wacom
Serial Pen driver.

Somebody had similar problems? Any idea how to solve that? All Wacom Tablet
users affected?

You could start your own post in the correct group - your post here is in
reply to general information re this months Black Tuesday offerings. I
think there is one for updates in the web interface - plus you will get a
wider audience to your problem. You are currently in the security.virus
group.

I would also suggest to you that you post your problem in the correct group
rather than in a general information posting, which is in security.virus -
search for windows.update in the web interface discussion group you are
using.

Sorry, I though I was in windowsupdate group.

Ah, didn't I say something along the lines that these updates where not
needed?
Enjoy your troubles.

We have about 10 Vista machines her running Vista 32 bit Enterprise.

After the patches, every Vista machine now takes over 3 minutes to login.
It previously took about 40 seconds.

Also, opening up MMC's now take minutes instead of seconds and some database
programs take minutes to open up each record.

Trying to get WSUS to uninstall but having difficulty doing that too.

Next time. Wait until any MS OS is version II or later before using it.
